Miri Autoshow 2005

Went to Miri Autoshow 2005 with friends last Saturday. It was held at the parking lots of Miri Indoor Stadium. There were lots of heavily modified cars and some motorcycles. I felt as if I was in one of those scenes from "Fast and Furious" / "2 Fast, 2 Furious" movies where street racers gather and exhibit their hot-wheels before the actual race. Most of them are from Miri and some are from Brunei. Almost all the cars has serious body kits and high-end audio systems while a few has gaming and video systems. Let me recall some of the cars that I saw that night:

   - BMW
   - Daihatsu: Move
   - Ford: Ranger
   - Honda: Civic, CRX (Del Sol), Integra
   - Mitsubishi: Lancer, Pajero
   - Nissan: Skyline
   - Perodua: Kancil, Kelisa, Kenari
   - Proton: Iswara, Perdana, Saga, Waja, Wira
   - Toyota: Altezza, Corolla, Liteace
   * and then I saw this pink-pearl colored hybrid car with Proton Perdana front-end and Honda Civic back-end!

There were also exhibition booths from car dealers like Toyota, Ford, Perodua and car accessories stores. Trophies and prizes were awarded for best modified car (general), best modified car (local) and best modified motorcyle (did I missed out any categories?). But I didn't stay long enough for the prize-giving session.

Anyway, here are some pictures taken that night using my Nokia 6260. And yes, I'm a bit of Honda fan, particularly Civic (cos I'm driving one) :)

Happy New Year 2005

Happy new year! I'd so much fun partying with friends at Balcony last night. New year resolution would be to learn swimming (finally!). I've been procastinating for years but this time, I'm all gamed.
